Virtual Private Server (VPS) is ideal for personal or individual usage.
Utilizing a custom-built physical server allows you to harness the complete array of computer resources.
Web storage is a vital component of the modern digital landscape, serving, storing and managing data online.
This guide explains how to connect
from Windows, using either PuTTY or the Command Prompt (CMD / PowerShell),
and also how SSH key-based authentication works if it was configured during the server rental process.

If an SSH public key was provided during the server rental process, the server will not ask for a password and will authenticate automatically using the key.
If the private key is stored in the default location (~/.ssh/id_rsa):
ssh root@<VPS_IP>
If you are using a custom private key file:
ssh -i C:\Users\Username\.ssh\vipy_key root@<VPS_IP>
With correct configuration, no password will be requested.
When using PuTTY, the key must be in PPK format.
